First Time in Therapy…

[@theklr]

You nailed the biggest benefit of therapy. Recently found out clinically I got AuADHD, and oddly it’s been a blessing cause I now know not only some of the patterns I have are not necessarily my own thoughts, but I how I can effectively be a better person in handling situations when I can control what triggers certain relations. Glad you were able to find a black therapist as well cause it’s hard keeping one that’s on your level. Also biggest tip for anyone thinking about it: you don’t have to stay with your therapist if you don’t feel they serve you. I’ve changed from several because their methods didn’t match how my brain operated, but don’t let a bad session deter you from getting help. There is a therapist (or other form of counsel) out there for you.

Thanks so much for this advice fam cuz no lie even the changing therapist tip is helpful for me! I know I’m the type to wanna be loyal unnecessarily. 😅 You sharing your example is much appreciated fam! I remember you telling me you’d been doing it for years!!!! Meanwhile I fought going for years. Just glad I’m finally getting on track!

[@Blessed9jaBeauty]

Sincerely appreciate you and this beautiful content 🥲. There's so much I want to say...but for now...just thank you so much. Keep shining BRIGHT family 🫂💎👑

That gym + therapy metaphor was so accurate. Coz I think a lot of people put a stigma on therapy and look at it as if "oh if I go there then there's something wrong with me." When in reality we should look to constantly better ourselves and something like therapy can be looked at as going to the gym. Basically keeping yourself mentally healthy and being able to dig deep and discuss things that maybe we aren't comfortable discussing with our friends and partners etc. Gives us such a healthy extra outlet and perspective. Keep up the great work as always 👊🏿💜

[@TPlocks]

It’s literally the answer to soooo much bro! Just having that check and balance for your mental health! I’m excited to learn on every visit! Thanks for the amazing comment and the support as always! 🤝🏾✊🏾

[@BigheroC]

I love it bro. As a Black Man, we have traumas on top of traumas. Therapy is a way to try to unpack that.

[@TPlocks]

It’s an amazing way bro! Glad I came around.✊🏾

[@BigheroC]

@@TPlocks and thanks to my therapy, loc journey and help with people like yourself, it allowed me to been comfortable asking for help and listening and discernment.

[@MegaDemetrius]

We need this #blackmenmentalhealth ❤

[@ndannoli]

Glad you shared this bro. Definitely needed to hear

[@TPlocks]

Absolutely fam! I was changed by my experience! Hope it helps someone else!✊🏾

[@SimplytheVibes]

Watched the whole thing... even a couple Ads ✊🏽

[@kajunsblerdeye9325]

That's what's bro. I have never done it, but in recent years with everything going on in the world and life. It sounds like something to look in to.

[@daysbe4jack]

Big ups to you big dawg, its really hard to open up and most times you don't know who to open up to. You`re inspiring me to look deep within myself and seek professional help if needed

[@AsiaFromBrooklyn]

Kudos to you TP, I think we all could benefit from therapy. I’ve been seeing a therapist for over a year. It’s definitely helped me think about things differently. I’m so much more patient and measured now. I hope you are able to get the most out of your sessions.

[@TPlocks]

That patience is exactly what I need more off too! It’s already helping me with these churren. I don’t speak about the girl dad element either! I be going through it! 😂😂

[@demaniage]

Love this bro, cause I feel like us as black men look at therapy as us being weak in the past. Honestly I loved going to therapy and I shared similar experiences that you stated. I be spazzing sometimes for no reason and when I see my son doing the same thing with his emotions I realize “bruh I need to have some self control”. If not I’m creating another generation of men who can’t control their emotions or communicate

[@TPlocks]

No lie fam, therapy been really helpful for me and my anger too. Just to have another way to think about things that trigger me or tools to calm down. That and finally being able to see the links between my struggle and childhood. I wish more of us could have access to therapy service!!! All glory to God for being able to have access as a work benefit. 🔥

[@Hermaphrodity]

❤ you’re able to share your truth! Today I decided to share my current abusive experience here on KZbin as well, feels good to let it out! Now I can see, thanks💪🏽💪🏽

[@TPlocks]

Glad you enjoy the video. ✊🏾

[@TheOnlyTaps]

Thanks for sharing your story and journey! 👊🏿🙏🏿

[@TPlocks]

Always bro! 🤝🏾 appreciate you per usual fam!

[@Kyle_Bu]

Thank u for sharing 🙏🏿

[@TPlocks]

Always bro!

[@coxfredl]

Mad respect for being open about your therapy journey.

[@TPlocks]

Had to bro! I gotta give the real to the fam! Couldn’t have this on my heart and not share! ✊🏾

[@kevingrant7864]

Always enjoy your insight and perspective on things man. As a guy that has issues with anger at times, I've been doing all I can to address the issue on my own and it has been challenging to say the least. I'm not going to keep rambling but, thanks again for another thought provoking vid TP.🙏🏿✊🏿

[@TPlocks]

Appreciate it bro! From afar I’ve seen you doing an amazing job as a father. Take it a day at a time. The desire to improve places you further along than you think! ✊🏾🤝🏾 We got this!

[@kevingrant7864]

@@TPlocks Thanks bro and likewise. We do got this💯✊🏿

[@colevanwyk4949]

It's all about self love @TPlocks ❤. From the mental to the physical. For a long time I didn't believe in therapy, but eventually went and found out some things about myself, like my anger, how my thinking has been affected by my upbringing etc. It was such a relief to finally "know" myself. I'm still working on it. Therapy, especially for men, is still somewhat of a taboo subject coz it can be perceived as weakness, I now believe that it actually brings strength. Thank you for sharing brother. As always, stay blessed! #1991Gang (need to update my profile pic lol)

[@jonathanleeper8240]

Love this, mental health is wealth. ✊🏾🙌🏾

[@kelz0974]

Mi bruddah, thank you for sharing. I definitely know I need therapy. I believe I can honestly say anger management. But also, I don't have the time, energy, or patience to keep playing games with people. I know I am work in progress. ❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@johnnellterrelllyric8166]

Hey bro, I spoke with you about my locs some months ago…things going well about to be a year loc in. I hope you doing well….i need therapy myself with things in my life.

[@zoohill]

Aye man I love this. Congrats on going. I’ve still been telling myself ima go for like a year now. 😅

[@earthrider700]

Being female and not black i can't pretend to understand completely. I respect the fact that you want to check yourself out. I do know that as you age somethings start making sense. Do you meditate?

[@TPlocks]

I pray constantly yep! And you can relate to more than not! Maybe not the black experience but this human thing for surrre!

[@javonbeforethejourney]

Lil Wayne had me saying crazy stuff as a kid 😂😂😂

[@TrinaRayne]

Step 1 to better mental health, get off of Social Media. I understand YT is apart of your income, but trying to scrape content together just for the sake of posting is going to burn anyone out. Just focus on your career at Google, your wife and your beautiful two little girls. And I’m sure your mental health would improve drastically. I wish you the best.

[@TPlocks]

Creating is an outlet. Especially this type of content. You were right when it came to my loc content. 😂 That’s why I took off 6 months last time. I know what’s most important.❤️ As for the income, this channel doesn’t even earn 500 a month. 🤷🏾‍♂️…You can only put these videos out and edit them yourself and try to improve every week if you legitimately like making videos. I do agree some of my other social media usage could use some work. I get way less value from twitter and IG these days.
